Fit perfect on 2001 Pt Cruiser. old one leaked power steering fluid out around the plastic body. Need a 7/8 deep socket and a wobble extention is very helpful to change this part. Just a note have the new one ready to put in after removing the old one since you will get alot of fluid out of the hole. This is a good time to flush and change the fluid. The screen on the resevoir does get plugged after a while.

Q:

Good night i have a 2002 Dodge Neon 2.0L SFI SOHC 4cyl and i want to knows where is power steering pressure switch located, I am showing a the computer error code P0551 and respond to that pressure switch. i appreciate any help, thank you in advanced. any Help will be greatly appreciated !!!!

Hello Demis, Good question. The Power Steering Pressure Switch (Part# PS103) will most likley located on the power steering high pressure line. There may be other sensors in that area so I would recommend that you pick up a Haynes manual (Part# 30036) to determine which one is the correct sensor.

Hi Jerry, happy to help! To further assist with the power steering switch, please provide us the year, make, model and engine size of your vehicle.

Q:

i recently had the a/c compressor removed from my '96 voyager, now (maybe it's a coincidence) i have a bad power steering fluid leak. could these be connected? as i understand it the pressure switch communicates with the a/c compressor via computer...

The switch's function is to signal the PCM when the power-steering system exceeds its normal operating hydraulic pressure, like when you cut the steering wheel all the way to one side and hear that hissing sound from the pump. The PCM then raises the idle speed and/or disengages the air-conditioning compressor to prevent the engine from stalling.
